Resin Pendants
Resin pendants are decorative ornaments or jewelry components crafted from various types of resin, a viscous liquid that hardens into a solid material. They are popular for their versatility, allowing for embedded objects, vibrant colors, and custom designs.
Material
The primary material is resin, which broadly falls into two main categories:
- Epoxy Resin: The most common type used for pendants due to its clarity, durability, and resistance to yellowing. It’s a two-part system – resin and hardener – that chemically reacts to create a solid polymer.
- UV Resin: A single-component resin that cures (hardens) when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. It offers faster curing times, making it suitable for smaller projects and layering, but generally has lower durability than epoxy resin.
- Polyester Resin: Less frequently used for pendants due to its tendency to yellow and lower clarity compared to epoxy.
Additives are commonly incorporated:
- Pigments & Dyes: For coloring the resin.
- Glitter, Mica Powders: For adding shimmer and sparkle.
- Embeddings: Dried flowers, small objects (beads, charms, photos), inks, paint.
- Stabilizers: To prevent yellowing or bubbling.
Purpose & Function
- Jewelry Making: The most common purpose. Pendants serve as focal points for necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and keychains.
- Decorative Items: Used in crafts, home décor (e.g., ornaments, paperweights), and art projects.
- Personalized Gifts: The ability to embed personal items makes them ideal for custom gifts.
- Artistic Expression: Resin pendants allow for unique and creative designs.
Usage Scenarios
- DIY Crafting: Individuals create pendants at home as a hobby or for personal use.
- Small Business/E-commerce: Artisans and small businesses produce and sell resin pendants online or at craft fairs.
- Workshops & Classes: Resin pendant making is a popular activity in crafting workshops.
- Professional Jewelry Design: Used by jewelry designers as components or focal points in larger pieces.
Common Types & Styles
- Flat Pendants: Simple, flat shapes, often rectangular, square, or oval.
- Bezel Pendants: Resin is poured into a mold with a raised edge (bezel) to create a defined shape.
- Domed Pendants: Resin is poured to create a curved, rounded surface.
- Geode Pendants: Mimic the appearance of geodes with layered colors and textures.
- Floral Pendants: Contain preserved dried flowers embedded in resin.
- Character/Figurine Pendants: Contain small figurines or sculpted characters.
- Letter/Number Pendants: Contain letters or numbers for personalized jewelry.
- Ocean/Beach Pendants: Incorporate sand, shells, and blue/green pigments to resemble ocean scenes.
- Galaxy Pendants: Use swirling colors and glitter to mimic the appearance of galaxies.
Resin pendants fall under articles of plastics and articles of other materials. Several HS codes may be applicable depending on the specific composition and use of the pendants.
Here are the relevant HS codes found within the provided reference material:
- 3926400010: This code covers “Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Statuettes and other ornamental articles Bows and similar products for decorative purposes including gift-packaging and the like”. Given that resin pendants are ornamental and decorative, this is a potential match. The total tax rate is 35.3% (Base tariff: 5.3%, Additional tariff: 0.0%, Post-April 2, 2025, Additional tariff: 30.0%).
- 7117907500: This code covers “Imitation jewelry: Other: Other: Valued over 20 cents per dozen pieces or parts: Other: Of plastics”. If the resin pendants are considered imitation jewelry and valued over 20 cents per dozen, this code applies. The total tax rate is 30.0% (Base tariff: 0.0%, Additional tariff: 0.0%, Post-April 2, 2025, Additional tariff: 30.0%).
- 7117905500: This code covers “Imitation jewelry: Other: Other: Valued not over 20 cents per dozen pieces or parts: Other”. If the resin pendants are considered imitation jewelry and valued at or below 20 cents per dozen, this code applies. The total tax rate is 44.7% (Base tariff: 7.2%, Additional tariff: 7.5%, Post-April 2, 2025, Additional tariff: 30.0%).
Important Considerations:
The classification between 3926400010 and the 711790 codes hinges on whether the pendants are classified as “ornamental articles” or “imitation jewelry”. The value per dozen pieces is crucial for determining between 7117907500 and 7117905500.
Please carefully assess the material composition, intended use, and value of the pendants to ensure accurate classification.
